.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 256 PM CDT SAT AUG 1 2015
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CENTERED OVER HUDSON BAY AND ENCOMPASSING
MUCH OF THE EASTERN CONUS WILL SEND A TROUGH IN THE MID LEVELS
THROUGH ON SUNDAY NIGHT WHICH IS STILL DOUBTFUL THAT THERE WILL BE
ANY INFLUENCE IN KANSAS. HIGH PRESSURE ATTEMPTS TO MAINTAIN ITS
HOLD ON THE SOUTH CENTRAL CONUS...BUT THERE WILL STILL BE WEAK
WAVES FROM THE MENTIONED LOW AND IN ADVANCE OF ANOTHER ONE FOR
THIS TIME FRAME. PRECIPITATION CHANCES WERE LEFT IN FOR MONDAY AND
TUESDAY WITH THIS PATTERN. ONLY MINOR TWEAKS WERE MADE THE ONGOING
FORECAST WHICH WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL VALUES IN THE
LOWER 90S.

ISSUED AT 256 PM CDT SAT AUG 1 2015
IN THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS...THE RIDGE OVER THE WEST COAST BREAKS
DOWN AT THE START OF THE WEEK AS THE LOW MIGRATES SOUTH FROM
BRITISH COLUMBIA. THIS WILL BRING SEVERAL WEAK WAVES IN ADVANCE OF
THIS SYSTEM. THE STRONGEST ACTIVITY WILL BE TOWARDS THE END OF THE
WEEK AS THE NORTHERN TROUGHS ARE ON TRACK FOR A NEAR COLLISION
COURSE. MODELS DIFFER IN SYSTEM PLACEMENT AT 850MB DURING THE
LATTER TIME FRAME WITH THE BEST AGREEMENT IN THE VERY LAST PERIOD
WHICH COULD BE A TOSS UP AT THIS POINT. CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION
TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK ARE CURRENTLY TRACKED TO BE MAINLY
ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY EVENING WHICH MAY OR
MAY NOT PAN OUT GIVEN THE TIMING OF THE SYSTEM AND ANY AFTERNOON
HEATING INITIATED DEVELOPMENT FURTHER WEST.
